NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF WOMEN'S ORGANISATIONS

That this House deplores the refusal of the Government and, in particular, the Home Secretary, to maintain the core funding of the National Alliance of Women's Organisations, an extremely important umbrella body in the voluntary sector, which represents through its member associations over six million women in this country; and believes that this refusal is totally at odds with the verbal statements of government ministers about their commitment to 'the advancement of women' and to 'umbrella organisations' that form the backbone of the voluntary sector.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
